Anyone got a good feel for the htmx accessibility story at the moment?

I'm interested in using it more, but I want to be 100% confident that I understand how to get htmx sites to work well with screen readers. I worry about things like fetching new data into a page not altering the screen reader user in the same way as refreshing a page completely would.

I'm not interested in whether or not htmx uses the correct ARIA attributes - I want to be confident that those ARIA attributes (or similar) do the right thing.

My ideal is still to use JavaScript libraries where the documentation not only describes how they work with screen readers, but is accompanied by video evidence showing the experience a screen reader user gets for different problems solved by that library.
